The Portuguese boss has boldly hit back in the press and been cut down to size by the likes of Roy Keane, who told him to "shut up and do his job", but he has support from former Red Devils midfielder Paul Ince.

Mourinho came under fire from pundits for 'parking the bus' against their biggest rivals and was booed by United fans for substituting Marcus Rashford for Anthony Martial during the Spurs clash - before Martial scored the late winner.

He further hit out at fans after a section of them vented their frustration at Romelu Lukaku after the Belgium striker didn't make more of an effort to run after a loose ball.

Some say Mourinho shouldn't be criticising fans but Ince reckons he has every right.
